Magnetic Therapy

The earliest recorded use of magnets dates to 800 BC. Physicians in ancient Greece, Egypt, India and China described and practiced magnetic therapy and it was mentioned in the writings of Homer, Plato, and  Aristotle. Magnetic therapy is no longer ancient history nor a mysterious force.  Science has established that magnetic energy passes through all material and affects all living things.  Magnetic fields surround the earth and protect all living things from harmful radiation. They also influence man’s behavior, mental function and physical energy.

Magnetism is a basic natural force of the universe. It is the basis for new discoveries in all fields of applied science. Magnetism plays a major role in everyday functions, from simple domestic appliances to the most advanced scientific instruments.

Modern medicine is just beginning to realize the potential value of using magnetic energy in the treatment of physical and mental disorders. The Earth's natural pulsing frequency of 7.96 Hz (cycles per second) reduces stress and encourages relaxation and sleep. Sound, restful sleep is essential in achieving top physical and mental performance.

The most significant use of magnetic energy  in conventional medicine is through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A sophisticated diagnostic tool,  MRI employs the different effects of the two poles on the hydrogen factor in human tissue to create an image otherwise unavailable. The MRI system detects and details soft tissue and is important in detailing the brain and detecting tumors. Teeth and bones that contain little water do not appear on an MRI image. Other approved devices include EEG, MEG and SQUID diagnostic equipment, which can also detect and record important electromagnetic information.

The FDA has approved PMF (Pulsed Magnetic Field) treatment for non-union bone fractures. The treatment device is available by prescription only and is custom made for each patient, therefore, it is an extremely costly application procedure.

A set of bar magnets applied to either side of a fracture provides a similar effect, as does the application of PMF treatment using a standard miniature device available off the shelf. Other applications using magnetic and electromagnetic energy are infrared heat therapy equipment, ultraviolet purification systems, magnetic hearing aids, and homeopathic, colour and light therapies. Kinesiology test equipment and magnetic probes which remove metal particles from the eyes, nose and ears can also be included.

While some diseases and disorders respond best to orthodox medicine, conventional medicine and alternative therapies can work in harmony. Natural alternatives are generally safer with fewer side effects and should be considered whenever possible.

Magnetic Therapy - How it Works

Magnetic therapy utilizes the natural energies of magnetism that are important to human existence and overall health. Human Beings posses complex bio-electromagnetic systems, while all electro-systems also contain magnetic fields. A magnetic field provides a natural way to assist the body as it passes through all tissues and cells. The outer surface of each nerve cell carries a positive charge, while the interior of the cell carries a negative charge. In the case of pain, the positively charged cell membrane is supplied with more potassium by the blood, thereby increasing the positive charge. As a result, a powerful current flows through the cerebral neurons, which register the event as pain. If the site of the pain is exposed to a magnetic field, the different charges are neutralized, the current flow declines and eventually ceases altogether. In most cases, the pain is alleviated.

Magnetism is very effective for healing and restoring the natural balance of the body. This helps to bring a normal charge back to each body cell by increasing cellular oxygen and restoring pH balance. The cells then become well. The use of an external magnetic source helps the body in the healing process, alleviating the need to deplete its own energy resources.

Several studies on the effects of magnetic fields  reveal that blood flow increases under the influence of magnetic fields. This fact can be proven with infrared thermography which uses different colours in the image to define different skin temperatures. In 1983, Dr. Ulrich Warnke conducted tests on both humans and horses, revealing that electromagnetic fields  increased  blood  flow by  dilating  the blood vessels. This was observed in the thermographs within 2 minutes. Other studies using the same technique indicate similar results using  bipolar  magnetic  pads.

Static  (Permanent) Magnetic Fields

The Theoretical Significance Of Left And Right Electron Spin In The Human Energy System, Encyclopedia Britannica 15th edition Vol. 15 (1986). Proteins pp 859-880, Carbohydrates pp 881-890, Lipids  pp 891-896.

 “A static magnetic field is an energy field by virtue of the movement of electrons. The negative magnetic pole moves (spins) electrons to the left and the positive magnetic field moves electrons to the right. Electron movement is the essence of energy. Oxygen and water are paramagnetic and can be magnetized as either positive or negative.  Magnetized oxygen, or water, will behave like a static magnetic field being either positive or negative, depending on the magnetic field to which it has been exposed.

It is important to understand that the magnetic field that spins electrons to the left supports the body’s energy oxidation-reduction process. It seems evident that this negative magnetic field supplies the energy for the enzyme function, the reversal of acids,  hydrogen peroxide, and oxygen free radicals, thus releasing molecular oxygen from these products which can be used in the oxidation process of energy production in the human body.

The human body requires an alkaline medium because an acid medium cannot maintain oxygen and is toxic to the human body. A negative magnetic field supports the body's alkalinity and high need for oxidation capacity for energy production. Magnetic bio-North pole oxygen or water supports human physiology. Oxidation provides energy for reversal and reduction of end-products (free radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and acids) and aids in maintaining the necessary alkaline pH.”

Magnetic Polarity

The bio-magnetic designation of polarity in permanent magnets is opposite to the industrial designation, used by the manufacturers of magnets. The industrial designation identifies the North pole of a magnet as that end (or side) of a magnet that will point to the Earth’s North pole. The bio-magnetic designation is opposite, as it correctly identifies

• Polarity and is extremely important when using magnets for magnetic therapy.
• Bio-Magnetic North  or Negative polarity - The end or side of a magnet that  points to the Earth’s South Pole.
• Bio-Magnetic South  or Positive polarity  - The end or side of a magnet that  points to the earth’s  North pole
• Bipolar or Alternating polarity describes a magnet that provides a pattern of alternating  North-negative and South-positive poles.
• Permanent magnets do not produce frequencies, the Earth is the lone exception.
